WINNIPEG, MAN. – The Winnipeg Goldeyes have re-signed left-handed relief pitcher Tasker Strobel.

In his return to the club last season, Strobel appeared in 39 contests and posted a 4-3 record with a 3.76 earned run average and a 2.50 strikeout to walk ratio.

The 29-year-old served as the Goldeyes’ closer in 2022. His 21 saves that season ranked second in the American Association and were tied for the fourth-most in club history. He finished the season with a 2-3 record and a 3.42 ERA in 53 appearances and represented the Goldeyes at the All-Star Game in Rosemont, Ill.

A native of Avon, Ind., Strobel pitched for the Gary SouthShore RailCats in 2019 and 2021 and split the 2023 campaign between the Fargo-Moorhead RedHawks, Kane County Cougars, and the Atlantic League’s York Revolution.

Overall, Strobel’s career record stands at 12-17 with a 4.35 ERA and 31 saves. He has averaged 8.4 strikeouts per nine innings.

“We’re obviously excited to bring Tasker back,” said manager Logan Watkins. “He’s coming off one of, if not the best year of his career and he takes a lot of pride in wearing the Goldeyes uniform and he will play a huge role in our bullpen once again.”

Winnipeg now has 10 players under contract for the 2025 season. American Association clubs may carry up to 33 players during spring training, which begins April 26.
